Purpose:

The purpose of the virtual public meeting is to present information on proposed operational improvements to IH 30 from IH 635 in Mesquite to Bass Pro Drive in Garland, TX and solicit public comments. Attendees will be able to learn about the proposed project and provide input. The virtual public meeting will consist of exhibits and materials explaining the proposed project. Comments may be provided by mail, email, or voicemail as described in the notice and on the virtual public meeting website.

Description:

The proposed project consists of operational improvements to approximately 5.5 miles of IH 30 from IH 635 in Mesquite to Bass Pro Drive in Garland, TX.  The proposed improvements are designed to improve traffic flow and mobility by reducing traffic bottlenecks within the highway corridor.  Major elements of the proposed design include the following:

• Widen existing pavement within existing TxDOT right of way to add additional auxiliary lanes along the eastbound and westbound IH 30 main lanes.
• Convert the existing diamond ramping configuration to X-ramp configuration, all within the existing right of way, for the IH 30 interchanges with Northwest Drive, Broadway Boulevard, and Rosehill Road, as well as the west side of the interchange with Bobtown Road/Roan Road.
• Reconstruct the IH 30 intersection with Rosehill Road within existing right of way, thereby reconstructing Rosehill Road at-grade and constructing an overpass bridge for the IH 30 main lanes.
• Widen existing IH 30 main lane overpass bridges at Broadway Boulevard and Bobtown Road/Roan Road to accommodate IH 30 auxiliary lanes.
• Shifting existing eastbound frontage road bridges over Duck Creek southward within existing right of way and reconstructing selected segments of existing IH 30 frontage roads to add auxiliary lanes and ramps.
• The easternmost 1.7 miles of the proposed project would be limited to main lane restriping to facilitate the balancing of lanes with a previously approved IH 30 project to the east of Bass Pro Drive.

No additional right of way or easement would be required to implement any of the proposed design changes.  The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain.
